Forsaken Miner + Phyrexian Altar + Susurian Voidborn

Forsaken Miner

Phyrexian Altar

Susurian Voidborn

How it works

1. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Forsaken Miner, adding .
2. When Forsaken Miner dies, Susurian Voidborn triggers, targeting an opponent.
3. When you commit that crime, Forsaken Miner triggers, causing you to pay to return it from your graveyard to the battlefield.
4. Resolve the Susurian Voidborn trigger, causing target opponent to lose 1 life and gaining 1 life.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns a modest skeleton into an endless engine of life-draining attrition, legal in commander, legacy, oathbreaker, and vintage. By feeding Forsaken Miner to Phyrexian Altar, you generate the black mana needed to pay for the Miner's own resurrection ability. That very act of targeting an opponent with the Miner's triggered ability counts as committing a crime, which seamlessly funds its return while simultaneously triggering Susurian Voidborn to drain your foe's life away with every iteration.
